Two little helpers

Hi all

I have had a lovely morning crafting with 2 little helpers ,my friends two boys came to visit and we made 2 xmas cards,i had a go at step cards ,i have to say i dont think i have the template quite right but we had fun with these cards and the boys love them ,which is the main thing.they are for their teachers .

I am determined not to buy any craft goodies until my birthday at the end of oct.

I really want some promarkers,i am having a daily argument with myself trying to justify spending so much money on them ,so if i say they are for my birthday i will feel its ok.crafters logic is a great thing isnt it ?

hello

I have had a lovely day catching up with my crafting and bloghopping,here is a card i made for a cousin who is 16,i hope its cool enough for her , the stamp is one of the anya range from the greetings farm,i think they are kate knight backing papers ,i used a crafters companion sentiment stamp,coloured with dovecraft brushmarkers and finished with prima flowers.

I have been visiting jenniscraftyjournal,she is a very talented lady and has a new range of her own stamps now on sale ,her blogspot is fab ,please go and have a look ,i have added it to my list of fave blogs,good luck with the new stamps,i will be getting some asap.

Glad to be back
